Tartridge Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 You need new cranks - by filing it, youve totally removed the chance of a decent bodge, basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty-trials Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Sap some salatape(sp?) round the BB and slap the pedal arm back on! take some tape with you and an 8mm allen key....the tape doesnt last LONG at all but it works...

JT! Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 If its that badly rounded, whatever bodge you do, it isn't going to last long. Your just going to have to get some more cranks. (Even though you cant). Damn trials and it expensiveness! (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's non-drive side, Halfords STOCK some real cheap crank arms for about £6 (Y) If it's drive side you have to order them in I think. If you can't find that amopunt of money and blag some tools, I'd be amazed. From what I can remember they are made from plastic coated steel, too. When my bro was broke I got him one to get by... it's still on there 6 months later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
